Physio Clinics 

A First Contact Physiotherapist in a GP practice is an experienced physiotherapist with advanced skills. They assess, diagnose, and recommend appropriate management and exercises to aid recovery for Musculoskeletal disorders (MSK). MSK issues can affect your joints, bones and muscles and sometimes associated tissues such as your nerves. They can range from minor injuries to long-term conditions.

FCPs can also make referrals  (NHS and private) to long-term physio treatment in the community. Patients are often booked in directly with a FCP without seeing a GP first.
